ARBROATH STILL IN MIX

JACK HAMILTON scored a second-half winner as highflying Arbroath extended their unbeaten Championship run to four games with a narrow victory away to Hamilton.

The home side enjoyed the better of the first-half possession — in a match where four players with the surname Hamilton lined-up — but David Moyo’s early chance was kept out, after two chances in quick succession for Arbroath, and Mihai Popescu sent his 26thminute header wide as the scores remained goalless at the break.

But the visitors fought their way back into the game and onloan Livingston striker Hamilton broke the deadlock just before the hour mark as he picked out the top corner for his eighth goal in all competitions for the club this season.

Popescu headed a close-range effort wide moments later as Hamilton searched for a quick equaliser, while Nicky Low took a chance before firing his longrange shot too high. The win means Arbroath stay four points

behind leaders Kilmarnock, who they face on Friday night.
